Les Étangs de Corot: an impressionistic moment

This weekend I went to visit Les Étangs de Corot, a charming four star hotel with impressionism ambiance across Villa d’Avray region (historic heritage) near Versailles and 15 minutes from Paris. With a spa Caudalie, it had been a while that I wanted to visit it. A nice region of lakes known to have housed various artists after centuries, is a calm site, bucolic and perfect for jogging or make a picnic on the edge of its calm waters.

Starting with the Caudalie spa, in which I’ve tested the classic Modelage Caudalie, which is simply à tomber! It tones the muscles and energiez the body, very good. Overlooking the étangs (lakes), the location is really privileged by silence, nature and the Caudalie products … I’ve noted a huge ten!

In the evening I went to test Le Corot (name of one of the first Impressionists), restaurant with a macaron in Michelin. Guided by Chef Rémi Chambard, which prepares dishes that look like paint screens. I opted for the tasting menu « Menu en quatre étapes » with Foie Gras rôti, l’anguille fumée, oxalis, Blettes mûres, consommé de betterave; L’Aiguillette of Saint-Pierre poêllée, chlorophylle of coriandre, artichauts, sauce aux supions; La selle d’agneau rôtie, oseille, pulpe d’aubergines, au jus vinaigre of Nanteuil-lès-Meaux, and finally La Fraise, Crémeux of basilic et petit pois potagers. All this accompanied by a good Bourgogne!

Finally, the breakfast of champions within Le Café des Artistes in the next morning, with mini viennoiseries, breads of various types, juice, fruit, yogurt, scrambled eggs … Yummy! From the outside, the étangs, the sun, the nature, a scenario full of inspirations. Do I have the right to return tout de suite?
